I too, hear America’s song. The ones who tire of famine and poverty; The young; The old; As the fortunate pass; Sparing nothing but a hollow glance; We become deaf to these people’s songs; They yearn; They sing; The ones who bask in the pit of wealth; The known; The selfish; They encounter the unfortunate; Remaining ignorant to their desperation; They become deaf to America’s song; They yearn; They sing;
